The meeting

"Hello, my name is Kenn Fong, and I'm a writer."

"[many voices as one] Hello, Kenn."

"It's been two years since I've been to a meeting."

"[muffled] that's okay, we're all friends here."

"I can't help it... I booted up..., I thought I was okay, that I could do it myself"

"We all need help once in a while."

"I opened Word... and.... [choking....]

"I-I-I saw the empty window... [sobs]

"And I just... I just had to fill it with words... [he breaks down..]"

"That's okay, Kenn. We all have. What's important is now you're here. You're with friends."
